It's spring here!  Finally it's been pretty cold last week but this week it's better and what a perfect image to use for a card right now right?!? The image that I used is  Dreaming of spring  and I thought she would be totally perfect for a little thank you card! For this card I made again another flower by hand.  I made the center as well and I'm really happy with the result.  Since it was big I left the rest of the card fairly CAS because I really wanted the great image to have the attention.

Hello everyone!  This is a pretty sad post as it will be my last one with Simply Betty.  The DT was dismantled.... I'll miss it because it was great fun!  Oh well more time for other creative venue right?!? Anyway here's my make with the great Boxing Betty.  When I saw this digi I totally envisioned her in a ring.  So for the 1st time I drew something... I don't usually do that... but I had fun doing it.  I used my new neocolors for the page with the come watch the fight.  I did some texture using some old dress patterns that I scrunged up!!! Learning soooooo much right now and having fun trying it out... just wish I had more energy to do stuff....  Used to be able to do so much more... but I digress. Here's my make.  It was colored with my copics.  The ring background was done using my pan pastels. Here's a closer look at my scrunged up page.  I have never done graffiti so I had to practice lol.  I actually had to get up to put this layout on paper because i

There's now a DT call going on over at the challenge!!!  So come over and join :)  Such a great group of ladies! And the great sponsor for this challenge is  If you know and follow me you know how much I loooooove Lucy Loo and love coloring her.  I have fun with her hair and I have done it in all sorts of colors.  The image that I used this time around is: Lucy Loo close up Tip: I will share with you something that I have found out by watching a great youtube video.  I really love journaling and journals can get pricey.  Sometimes you find great journals at a reduced price at bookstores and such  this is the case of this one. However the pages are much thinner than the regular art/mixed media journals.  So my trick to you is glue 2 pages together(using a regular glue stick).  You can prep the entire book and then have fun.    And here's wh

Ok so this is probably the only post of this kind because it's really rare that I'm super happy with my work but this time I'm totally over the moon with the results of my last day of crafting!!!! I redid my journal cover so from the before to the after picture!!!!  I'm beyond happy!  I can't believe how well it turned out with just paper, cardboard and some toilet paper molded pieces (all the bolts, nuts and screws). Isn't that a HUGE difference?!?  I can't believe that I made it!!! Here's the video tutorial that I followed in case you want to try this out... yeah... I'm not that clever to think of this myself lol And here's a closer look at that cover all by itself.  I used a bunch of dies from Cheery Lynn dies I have quite a collection of the gears and steampunk stuff.  I did some texture using my crafter's companion stencils.  The paint that I use is decoart (2 super old bottles from my MIL's stash that I put water in to
